Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're the biggest stars and getting to know the person
behind the personality. I'm Shadow Stevens and no, here's your host,
Billboard charting recording artist and raining queen on the scene, y'all.
Reen Taylor, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
I never get sick of hearing that intro. I love
the great Shadow Stevens. If you don't remember him from
the incredible American Top forty, that credible show and now
here it's amazing. Well, of course I'm Doreen Taylor and
today on the show coming up. Yes, the one, the
only Sheena Easton. I mean, that's pretty cool. That's a

(00:39):
big get for me. I'm excited. But again, before we
get into all that happy National Cheeseburger Day, Matt.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
I know what I'm eating today.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Ah, you like a cheeseburger cheese or without cheese? What
do you prefer on your burger?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
You have to have cheese. It's a hamburger. If it's
not a cheeseburger.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well, that's true that it wouldn't be a year brother
a hamburger. A lot of people, the Jewish people can't
have meat and cheese, so that's like there, that's taboo
to them. Some that are really like you know, the
the Orthodox. You can't have both on a thing. I
learned that because I grew up in the Yeah, in Buffalo,
we didn't really know many Jewish people, so as I
kind of branched out as older, I remember going to

(01:17):
some resort in the Catskills and they had breakfast and
I'm like, but I want bacon, but I want my
milk and I want it, and they're like, no, you can't.
I'm sorry, and I'm like why, I don't understand, And
I learned you can't.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
See I'm educating. I'm Magie macating people.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
So what cheese? What cheese is your preferred cheese?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
I like Provolone on it, but also can't have I mean,
Cheddar is really good too.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, sharp cheddar, I love the sharper the better for cheddar.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, but I like provolone. It depends on what topics
you have. I mean, if it's a plain old burger,
just regular like lettuce, tomato, all that type of stuff,
then just regular cheddar. But sometimes you could have Swiss.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I like a good Swiss and Swiss mushroom kind of
thing going on. But again our onions and stuff that
could be good, you know, sauteed and onions.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Right, Yeah, it depends on what type of burger.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
But yeah, you're right. So it was just a burger though,
and you're you're doing one on the girl and you
had whatever cheese you want. It's just gonna be your lettuce,
tomato whatever.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Probably cheddar.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Guess I would kind of pick you.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
As a cheddar guy. Chetta chutta baby shut a baby
only type. I must be hungry. I got blood work
today before coming into the show, and I said, you
know what, I'm fasting still, so I'm hungry. I want
to eat, so you know, of course National cheeseburger Day.
I think we should stop this line of communication because
I'll eventually eat my script here in the microphone. But

(02:38):
you know, today is a huge day. I am really
excited because I she Easton. I mean, I don't have
to stay watching you. Normally I have to give like
an introduction, even when they're huge. I give an introduction
with her. I'm like, well, you just kind of know
who she is. Yeah, And it was funny when I
announced it on social media. Sometimes tease who's coming up?
All the guys out of the woodwork, Oh my god,

(03:00):
my teen heartthrob. Oh, I love her, I love her.
I love her, and it did. It doesn't matter how
old she gets, it doesn't matter. The guys still love her.
And do you have somebody like that? Was that somebody
like when you were growing up? Who was the poster
that you had on your I don't see your ceiling.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
But what do you like under the pillow?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Under the pillow, you know, in the mattress and in
the centerful kind of thing. Yeah, that's am I.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
But yeah, Paula Abdul really growing up? Yeah, really that's
when she when because I was in the early nineties.
I was in like middle school beginning to high school.
So that's when she was, uh, just getting coming out
with all all her videos and stuff and.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, forever your girl, and yeah, straight up now to
tell me, yeah, yeah, she was supposed to be on
the show. I'm glad I didn't tell you that she
was gonna do it. But then she was right in
the middle of rehearsing for her tour that was coming up. Okay,
so you know what, now that I know this, I
may knock on that door because you know, she in
Easton and paul Abduller a little I see a little
similarity there.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, oh she east and yeah, I said, oh yeah, she.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Had some hair though. I gotta tell you she was
brave with hair. She did some very experimentally. I got
to talk to her a little bit about that because
some of her fashion sense and stuff in that she
really like paved the way and made some very bold
choices and it caught on. It really did, it did.
And then you know her friendship with Prince and all
of these amazing things. I just I don't want to

(04:21):
talk to you anymore. I want to talk to her.
And no, I'm kidding. I love you. We can talk later.
I think, let's do you want to get to it?

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, let's go.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
With fifteen top forty singles, seven top tens, selling more
than twenty million records, and notching up two Grammy wins
from six nominations, my guest today on the Scene with
Doreen needs no introduction, although I will do it anyway.
For those living under a rock, selling millions and millions

(04:48):
of the talented singer, she and Easton defined a new
generation of pop music with hits like nine to five,
Morning Train, Almost Over You, We Got Tonight with Kenny Rogers,
strut team up with Prince on You Got the Look,
and of course she became the voice of the eighty
one James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. Take a listen, take.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
Words, take some.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
He takes me. Shut up.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
Let's get to rab Dot.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Let's make it last, lads, fine oh yes. With an

(06:36):
iconic career spanning over five decades, Powerhouse Sheena Easton has
claimed many honors in her illustrious career and has the
distinction of being the first and only recording artist in
Billboard history to have a top five hit on each
of the Billboards primary singles charts. Starring in multiple shows
on Broadway and still performing in select cities nationwide, Shena

(06:58):
Easton still continue used to delight her fans new and
old with that sparkling soprano voice that has become synonymous
with her name. So, without further ado, I am thrilled
to have the one and only Sheena Easton today on
the show. Hi, Shena, Welcome to the scene with Doreen.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Hi. Thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Oh, it's my pleasure. You know, I grew up listening
to all of these hits and it's amazing because there
were so many more that I could pick from, and
it was like, well, what do I pick? So I
had to go Okay, you know it was hard. It
was like a crap shoot.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
You picked, you picked the clean lyrics, you picked the
cool ones that you could actually use.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Oh yes, well that's always well, of course, you know Prince,
you know when he's writing his pseudonyms, and he gave
you some little dirtier songs. Oh yes, those were the
fun ones. But yeah, you know, we're radio friendly and
television friendly, so we have to but those will be after.
That'll be like the deep cut later. Well, I want

(07:56):
to go back a little. I mean, you've been doing
this one five decades. Born and raised in Scotland, you
pretty much came out of the womb singing, but you
you really never thought of it as a profession until
you saw BARBERA. Streisand on the silver screen.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
I believe that's what has been printed about me. It's
possibly even in my own wiki page. I don't know,
but no, I always wanted to do it, and I
always had my heart sat on it. I went to
drama school and I was studying to perform, but it
wasn't until that I saw Barber Streisand sing you know,

(08:33):
I saw when I was a kid, but when I
was a teenager that I really connected with the fact
that this was something I had to do. I had
to have the opportunity to do that for a career.
Because as I sat in the theater and I felt
how her voice moved me, I thought, if I can
do that just once in my life to anybody else,

(08:54):
then I'll be happy. So I really set my heart
on it.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Then now at that point, you knew, Okay, this is
what I'm going to do. Did you seek out a teacher,
did you want to study, or you know, what was
your plan?

Speaker 5 (09:11):
My teacher was my record player with my vinyl records,
and I would play the records and I would sing
into my hairbrush, you know, like every kid does, of course,
and I would basically I would I would sing to
singers that had a big range, and I would work
every day until I could hit a note that I

(09:31):
couldn't hit before, and then I would try to hold
it and hold it longer and work on my tone.
So I basically trained myself. It wasn't until later, way
down the line, after I'd been working for many years
and I was having some vocal trouble. You know, you
get sick and you have to go out and perform anyway.

(09:53):
And so going in and doing vocal rehab exercises that
really helped. And also when I went to do my
first Broadway role and I had to sing full soprano
and not pop voice, and I went and I worked
just to make sure before I took the role that
I had that voice in me that I could do it.

(10:14):
But I've never had like proper lessons as a kid.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
I just winged it amazing. But you did sort of
you kind of went on the other side because you
trained as a speech and drama teacher in Glasgow, so
you kind of understood the voice. You knew how to project,
you knew how to phoney, you knew all of the things.
So maybe deep down that sort of prepared you as well.

Speaker 5 (10:36):
Yeah, I think just happened a lot of hootspa, you know,
just being bold. And I basically when I was young,
I thought I have nothing to lose, you know, I mean,
what's the worst that can happen? So I just would
get up and I would sing. I would sing in
front of people, I'd sing in front of family, I'd
sing and I knew that the neighbors were listening, and
I just went for it, and that eventually gave me

(10:59):
the confidence to audition for my first band when I
was seventeen, and I went to college and it kind
of went on from there.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Well, you were the youngest of six children. Your parents
were obviously very tired. But did you fail yourself? Did
you feel yourself having to compete for attention around the
house because you were the baby?

Speaker 5 (11:19):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, of course, you.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
Know little kids, when you're the baby, you think I
get attention if I'm being cute, you know. So that
was the thing I would sing. And I sang my
aunt Mary's Silverweed and Anniversary when I was tiny, and
I remember everybody applauding and giving me attention then, and
I think that's when I got truly bit by the
bug to do it.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Oh, I can imagine every little girl dreams of that thing,
and then to have applause too as well. Oh it's infectious.
It's better than any drug on the planet. I always
say that that's the drug right there, that applause. Oh definitely. Well,
you know a lot of young artists on I Shore
talk about the struggle to make it and your journey's
a little different. Your singing career broke in UK as

(12:04):
a reality TV star before even your reality TV was
even a thing. Coming right out of the gate, you
were signed EMI and it was a seven record deal.
I mean, all of that has to be surreal for you.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Yeah, because when I first got that opportunity, it wasn't
that at all. It was a series of I think
it was I can't remember how many, but I think
maybe five documentary shows that they were doing, and it
was called The Big Time, and it was about taking
an amateur who was talented in something. Someone who could cook,
they got to cook a banquet for somebody. Someone who

(12:37):
liked to drive fast cars got to drive I don't
know Formula one or something. I forget all the exact ones.
But my episode was a young girl that could sing
and ever go to a record company and cut a single,
see what it's like to make a record, to be
in the studio and make a single. And that was it.

(12:59):
That was all the show was about. And then what
happened was when I went to EMI as part of
the show and I was auditioning to see if they
thought I was good enough to make a single with
me that's when they decided that they wanted to sign
me as an artist for long term and continue a
long career with it awesome.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
I also heard that it was originally supposed to be
several artists that they were going to develop, and they said,
you know what, Nope, we're just putting it all into you, Sina.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
Well it was eggs in one basket.

Speaker 6 (13:29):
I guess that's you know what.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
I'll take those eggs any day of the week. I'll
take that basket. I'll take it all. Well, that's really cool.
How did you get that opportunity? Because I know that
you did it. I know that it was really it
opened an incredible door for you to be on that show.
But how did you find it or how did they
find you?

Speaker 5 (13:47):
You know, it's a miracle. I was at drama school.
It's now called the Conservatoire, but then it was the
Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, and as part
of our course, we had different guest lectures that would
come in and one of the lecturers that came in
he was working with us on a show that we
were doing. And I was kind of known in our

(14:08):
years as the chick that was out singing at night
in the band. You know, I was known as the singer.
And he got a call from the researcher from the
BBC saying, we're looking for young talent from all over Britain.
Do you know of Annie because I think he also
ran the Glasgow Youth Theater. I had something to do
with that. Anyway, he gave them my name and I

(14:28):
came into college and he handed me a number and
he said, call this number. It's a researcher for the BBC.
It's something to do with some kind of TV show.
And that was it.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Wow, Like, think about serendipitous that moment, and I talk
about this a lot with the guests I have. If
it were not for that one moment, do you ever
imagine how different your life would be now?

Speaker 5 (14:50):
Very different? And also the young woman that came up,
we talked on the telephone and I guess that was
her way of checking out my personality and then she
said I'll be coming up from London to Glasgow to
meet you, and I was like okay. So we met
in the hotel bar that she was staying in and

(15:10):
she after we had a conversation, she said, come on
up to my room and sing for me. Now, if
that had been a man, oh yeah, as a you know,
eighteen year old kid, seventeen and a half year old
kid come up to my room. I mean I was
smart enough. My mom told me no way, right, no,
so I'd be like probably not. So I was. It

(15:32):
was really lucky that they said a young female that
didn't feel threatening, and I felt comfortable. And after she
heard me just sing like, you know, these hotels are tiny.
So I was just a few feet away from her,
just belting out raw, no microphone, you know, tossing my
hair back, given it loudy as they say, and she
was like, all right, this kid's get you know, she's

(15:53):
got something.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
The hotel she like you were talking about, she.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
Got husby, you know, she's not she's not too terrified.
So yeah, so that you're right. There's so many there's
so many things along anyone's career path that are important,
so many tiny doors that are connected, and they all
have to open. But you also have to have the
guts to step through it. And that's what I tell

(16:18):
young people that ask for advice. I say, the main
thing is just have the guts to go for it.
And if you fall down or somebody says, ah, you're
not quite right for this. Don't let it daunt you,
you know, pick yourself up and wait for the next opportunity.
Or better yet, like the kids are doing now, they're
making their own opportunities. So many of them have websites

(16:40):
and you know, YouTube, and they've got TikTok and all
of those things that weren't around when I was young.
So there's a lot of opportunities for kids to do
it today.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
And sometimes it's good to fall. I mean, if you
never fall while you're ascending that ladder, you don't know
what it feels like when you do reach the top
because it's been too easy. So you have to have
a little bit of that scabbed knee just in order
to appreciate when you see the view from the top.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
The hardest thing I think, you know, you mentioned that
right from a very early age. I had success. My
first single was a big hit, but the pressure that
that brought on me was every time I would experiment
or try something or fall down, I had so many
eyes on me. I didn't get a chance to do

(17:29):
a lot of failing in the shadows. So it was
hard sometimes to live with that spotlight on me at
a young age. And I feel even worse for the
kids now to have constantant social media attention because we
didn't have to deal with that back in my day.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Oh No, privacy is no longer a thing anymore. I mean,
and they don't want it. It's like if you disappear
for even thirty seconds, people are like, what's wrong? Where
are you? It's like you have to be relevant at
every moment of every day. Well, you're listening the scene

Speaker 2 (20:06):
No One scene second by the Passion Jack.

Speaker 7 (20:20):
The Man sun.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
My Welcome back to the scene with Dorain Proud, part
of the Beasley Media Group Family. I'm your host Doreen Taylor,

(20:48):
and I have been chatting with the singer and actress
Sheena Easton Shina. You are one of the select few
in the world who have performed a James Bond theme song,
but yet you are the only one that has the
distinction of being the only performer to be in the
actual opening credits of a Bond film. That's quite the accomplishment.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
It was a lot of well, I guess it was
a lot of fun. It was interesting but I'm definitely
very privileged that I got to do that. It was
it looks very glamorous on the screen, but it was
not glamorous when we were shooting that.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
I tie you down or something they like, They like
positioned you so that you couldn't move.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
They clamped my neck. There was a clamp around my neck. Well,
not for the entire thing. For in the in the
opening sequence, the camera zooms in all the way to
just my lips. Yes, And if I moved slightly to
the right or left, I had to be, you know,
out of the screen, out of focus. So for that
I had to still sing with passion and keep my

(21:52):
eyes alive and you know, give it some energy, but
not move.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (21:57):
So after I'm trying to get me to do it,
he went, you know what, just clamper, That's what he did.
I was clamped up hole.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
See, kids, that is a testament. If you want something
bad enough, you will allow people to clamp you you
and you will thank them for it.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
Yes I did. I was like, thank you very much.
That was very helpful.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
No, that's wonderful. Now they've never done it before and
they haven't done it since, so I heard they really
weren't even keen on doing it then, but the powers
that be really had a liking for you, and I
think they pushed for it.

Speaker 5 (22:30):
It was actually Maurice Spinder, who designed all of those
fabulous opening credits from all those very early Bond movies. Yes,
he was at the meeting that I had with the
producer company Broccoli when we were talking about the song,
and he decided, you know what, I want to use
her face in this and make that part of the thing.

(22:54):
It was all set underwater and there was these girls
swimming around.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
And very James Bond esque. That was very typical of
especially that time period. Oh yes, oh yes.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
A lot of people ask me when they see the
poster for that movie, which is you know a close
up of very long legs and then you know stuff
going on underneath. You think it's my legs And I'm like,
are you kidding me? That's like a ten model.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
One take it, say absolutely, it's my leg Yes, yes,
it's my legs. And they had to cut They had
to cut some because it was I was even taller
than that, so we had actually crop it.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
That's not even all my legs, it's more I love it.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
That's the way. That's Hollywood right there for you. Now,
Is it true Blondie was originally slated to do the
theme song for that movie, but you ultimately got it,
you know.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
I've heard that actually just recently I heard that whole story,
not that recently, but not not in the early days.
And then I kind of I've heard many different stories,
and I think it was one of those where the
new Bond movies coming out, so you know, they're talking
to a lot of different artists about, hey, would you
like to maybe write a song for it or whatever.

(24:09):
I don't know how they settled on me. I only
had Morning Train was my only thing that being on
the radio at that point nine to five Morning Train.
I was very new on the scene. But they decided,
you know what, let she was this girl, and I
got the phone call seeing you want to come in
and do it, and not jumped at it.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Oh why wouldn't you? Oh my gosh. First of all,
like back in that day, that was the thing to
be a Bond theme. I mean, you know, Shirley Vassy
and all of these incredible you know singers lending their voice.
Carly Simon, I think that was uh yeah, the Spy
who loved me, and there were all these like major
artists doing it, so yeah, and he picked you and

(24:50):
that was incredible because I think you rocked that song
better than anyone could have.

Speaker 5 (24:56):
Oh, thank you very much. I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
And I love the production of it. I love the
sense of like I said, it's underwater. You can tell
the effects they used on your vocals and just that
beautiful like what I played coming in on a break,
just a beautiful echo, and it just very ambulant, the
ambiance of it all.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
It's supposed to sound like a submarine and that's the sonar.
The dude, dude, it's a submarine's sonar. And that is
Chris Neil, again, my first producer, who came up with
that sound and that approach. And honestly, I'm not just
saying it. I think you could replace my voice and
you would still have a hit. But the production is

(25:36):
what made that a special song, and I think all
credit goes to him and the writers.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Of course, well I think it's a perfect storm. If
we're not for all the pieces, including you, it just
would not have been the same thing. And you know,
and it could have like again we're talking serendipity where
if one thing maybe changed, it would never have been
the same. So it was just meant to be. And
I see I saw you on the Oscars was eighty two.
I think you formed in the Oscars And didn't they

(26:01):
have like a crazy they? I mean that was very
advanced that performance, and it wasn't a submarine, but it's
something like lifted off, and I mean I had to
be crazy to be on stage.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
It was terrified, Yes, yeah it was.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
It was not.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
It was not fun for me. I just wanted to
stand still, be able to hear myself and sing it
and have a lot of safety around me. And then
they're like, no, you're going to have to run down
these stairs and there's gonna be pyro going off and
there's dancers and explosions and smoke, and I'm like what
And it was all in like, you know, really really

(26:35):
high heels on a long dress. I thought I was
going to trip on. I left my body during that experience.
It was one of those where I did it and
I lived through it, but I couldn't remember it. You know.
When I came off stage, I was like, was it okay?
Cause I just I just went in to fight or
flight mode. You just got through it. Like I was

(26:55):
trying to get out of Brendon Building or something. It
was terrifying.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
A you can imagine, and you know, and then all
of that, and you're supposed to sing and hit high
notes and hold them like we were talking in the beginning,
and have abrado and have beauty of tone and intonation
and all of this while pyrotechnics pretty much are going
off around you. That's yahy, that's quite a talent you
have there. And right out of the gate, I mean

(27:19):
you were young, you were just you were green pretty much.
I mean you said the one hit, but.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
Honestly, it wasn't talent if you look at it. I'm
not dancing. I'm just survive and i just have point
A to point B that I've got to get to
during that. And it's like, don't fall down, yeah, don't
make it complete, full of yourself and then you you've succeeded.
And that was all I was thinking about, just survive
and get out of this crazy thing and just be

(27:44):
done with it.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
And that was it amazing, And like eighty one movie
comes out, like you said earlier, it's you really right
out of the gate. What did that movie do for
your career?

Speaker 5 (27:55):
Well, my first single, which was one and Tree nine
of five that I was lucky enough that went to
number one all over the world. I think it was
number one in like, you know, thirty countries at the
same time.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Oh yes, So.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
That gave me an international start to my career. But
for Your Eyes Only was shown in places that were
not playing my music yet, and that song, because it
was a Bond song, was being played on radio stations
that weren't playing me yet, and so it truly opened
up my exposure to people that probably would never have

(28:33):
heard of me if it hadn't been for the movie
and the theme.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Song amazing and everybody got to see your face too,
I mean your beautiful girl, and everybody got that extra
bonus too to see you. So that was like slam
dunk Hello. Okay, So inquiring minds want to know and
you can say your own it's okay. What's your favorite
Bond song?

Speaker 5 (28:55):
Oh? I love everything Shirley Bassey Ever, I love Diamonds
Are Forever and Goldfinger thing those two because for me,
that was when I was a kid coming up and
she was the ultimate of glamor and she was fierce,
and she had this look in these gowns, and she
performed with drama, you know, and then she was like

(29:18):
the James Bond queen. So I loved everything that Shirley
Bassey did.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Awesome. I agree with you. I think those are like
the pinnacle, but yours is up there. I mean, I
if not number two, number three, I really believe that.
Oh and I'm not blowing smoke. My guys over here.
My crew knows that if I say it, I mean it,
so they hold me to that. I do not lie.
I do not lie. So I want to shift gears

(29:45):
a completely different gear. But you had a very special
relationship with the late great Prince. And I heard, not
the Prince of you know, England, but you know Prince,
the artist formerly known as Prince. I'm not sure exactly
what to call him, but I heard he's I saw
you on the tonight show and he sent you a
letter the next day asking you to work with him.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
Yeah, it wasn't a letter. The engineer that was working
with me in the studio was also working with him,
and his wife was an engineer in both places. So
he's talked to David and he said it wasn't a letter.
He sent a reel to really send a tape over
to me. He said, have she listened to this, and
if she wants to sing it, she wants to record it,

(30:27):
give me a call and we'll go into the studio
and do it. And that was Sugar Walls, which was
the first thing that we worked on together.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
You obviously said yes, of course, I loved it, and.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
I actually I went in to do the vocals. It
was on a Super Bowl Sunday that I was in
the studio. That's where I remember about that, And I
had never met him before, and I just remember everyone
kind of saying, you know, he's quite intimidating and it
could be a little awkward. But all we did was laugh.

(30:59):
We laughed for like the first hour before we even
started doing anton musical because he kept teasing me and
I would just tease him back. So it was great.
We developed a real connection as friends from the very
first moment we met, and that continued for a long time,
a great many years.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Oh, you worked together many times, even on the Batman soundtrack.
You collaborated on a song for that, and I found interesting.
Again true or false, I have to confirm with you,
of course, but you originally brought in on his hit
You Got the Look, and you were going to do
backing vocals, but at the it ended up where you

(31:38):
were having a hard time keeping up with him because
he decided to make it a duet, which I think
was brilliant. By the way, it was the best movie
it was.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
It was actually way more casual than that. It was
one of those where he was in town working and
I would get a call saying, hey, come on down
to the studio and hang out the Sometimes I'd be like,
are you kid, It's way too late now I have
to get up in the early morning.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Girl. Oh my god, that good for ye.

Speaker 5 (32:02):
But then you know, this is Prince and he was
creating such great music. He always dead. So to be
able to go down there and just hear him working
on something and watch him create or hear a playback,
I mean, that was awesome. So it happened to be
You Got the Look and he was playing it, and
I was like, oh, that's awesome, and he said, you
want to go in and throw a background on it,

(32:23):
because he had, you know, Sheila E and all of
the band and a bunch of people had their background
vocals on already and.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
I was like, yeah, let me go do that.

Speaker 5 (32:31):
That would be fun. And so I went in and
I didn't really know the groove of the song. I'd
only heard it through I think twice, yeah, And I
was singing it kind of like in syncopation with it,
and I was out of steat and I was like,
you have to stop and let me listen to it,
and he went no, I like that, keep going. And
then he said no, let's keep working with that, and

(32:53):
he turned it into a do it because he liked
the voices against each other.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
I love it another thing, erendipitous moment. If it were
not for that, it would not be the same song.
I think it's perfect. I love what he decided to
do with it. I think it's one of my favorites
of yours. And it's interesting. Well that's why I played
it earlier in the montage, because it's it's a hot song,
and the two of you together there's such that. It's
interesting because you have such a chemistry and that electricity

(33:20):
between you, but nothing ever happened all those years. You
just you kind of didn't even really know him that well.
You worked together, but it wasn't like that, Like everybody
always said.

Speaker 5 (33:29):
No, But everyone said that about anyone that I worked with.
When I did Miami Vice, they said it was like
that with Don Johnson. You know, they were even looking
for rumors with me and Kenny Rogers. You put a
female and a male in that creative situation and they
just want there to be gossiped. Yeah, and my life
was never as excite and as tabloids wanted to make it.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
It's true, don't you always wish? Man? I wish I've
lived half of that life that they said I did.
I would have been like, wow, fun, No, I agree, there's.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
An exhausted China the life that people were coming up with.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
You know.

Speaker 5 (34:02):
I was like, oh, come on, it's true.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
It's true, but it's you know what, it sells. It
may whatever They put that around a product all of
a sudden people are talking about and they still do it.
They still do it today. They have that pr machine
going and so this is part of the deal. But
I guess, you know what, if you're gonna have people,
it's not so bad with the people they picked you with.
I mean, they're all pretty good people there. So they
didn't pick anyone terrible for you.

Speaker 5 (34:25):
No, I did that all on my own, don't we all.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
I think you and I could get a coffee and
probably commiserate for a very long time about that. But
you know what, who cares? You know what you learn,
you move on and you learn it's all It's about
you and the rest doesn't really matter anymore. But that's
too philosophical. But I want to just mention too, because

(34:51):
Prince another you know, total great, but you also worked
with another great that did not work out so well,
and you've talked, You've been very open about the pros
and cons of your collaborations. Nile Rogers not really the
best match in heaven for you.

Speaker 5 (35:04):
No, it wasn't. I mean, I have a great respect
for Nile. I mean, he's an incredible producer and writer,
great musician, but he has gone through some stuff. At
the time that we worked together, he wasn't really bringing
focus into the studio, and the chemistry between us didn't

(35:25):
really gel. We didn't do so great on that album.
Record company liked it, we put it out. It failed.
I had no hits on it. But there's still you know,
there's fans that come to me after shows and some
of the tracks on that album are their favorite cuts,
and when I've listened to it further down the line,
the musicianship is awesome on it. He plays so well.

(35:50):
But no, we just weren't. We were not a match
made in heaven.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
It's incredible how certain people so talented in their own
respective sides of the business, but yet just together. If
it's not right, it's not right, and it's not in
you know, a problem with one or the other. It's
just it just didn't work. And yet, like with you
and Prince, it did. You know, It's just you never know,
You never ever know, and you just live and learn
and you keep creating. So, yep, you you had Prince,

(36:19):
Kenny Rogers Nile Rouh to Rogers. Wait a minute, I'm
like reading, I'm like, this is wrong. Kenny Rogers and
Nile Rogers no relation, of course. Is there someone that
you didn't get a chance to work with but you
always really really wanted to.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
Yeah, I would love to have done a do it
with Luther Vandross. I would love to have worked with him.
His voice was so amazing. That would have been a
nice thing to do. But you know what, if you
give me long enough, I could come up with a
list of singers that it would have been great to
have done a do it with. There's so much talent

(36:53):
out there, so many great voices.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
I just wrapped up speaking with people Bryce then earlier today,
and when you mentioned that, I'm thinking, well, he's still around.
I mean, I don't know you though, and I are.

Speaker 5 (37:05):
Going out to do a bunch of Christmas shows in December. Yeah,
and we've worked together in the past on stage doing
live work. We just never have recorded together.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
But yeah, see see another thing. It's fate. I'm just
saying another thing like spanks. I'm making a list now,
spanks peevo. Okay, we're going to do this all right. Well,
in the meantime, I got to take a break because
I got to write all this down. But you're listening

Speaker 8 (38:43):
One year from today.

Speaker 9 (38:44):
You will remember this day because this lady is the
hottest female vocalist all over the world. She's in ninety
seven trillion television shows in the last twenty minutes. And
how she can look that good and fly across the
Atlantic and do all this stuff is beyond me. The
amazing thing was this song was first called nine to
five in England?

Speaker 8 (38:59):
Who was hit?

Speaker 9 (39:00):
Of course nine to five is Dolly Parton over here,
so they call it morning Train, ladies and gentlemen, a
multi talented lady.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Oh yes, welcome back to the SEAMA during prop part
of the Beasley Media Group Family. I'm your host, Doreen Taylor,
and if you're just tuning in, I'm chatting with the
incomparable singer Sheena Easton with hits like Strut, the Lover
in Me and of course what you just heard Morning
Train nine to five. She in a happy anniversary.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
You're hit.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Morning Train nine to five in parentheses turn forty five
years old this year from its first release. That's crazy.
That is just unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (39:46):
Yeah, I'm very old.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
No, you look amazing. You don't even look forty five.
I wanted to say that. No, I'm seriously, it's unbelievable
that I can't even say I'm speechless, And that does
not happen often, trust me. You know, MTV was still
in its infancy when that song was released. I mean,
music videos were not these mini epics that they are today,

(40:10):
and there was really no budget behind anything. And you
mentioned it earlier in the interview that you had to
do your own hair and makeup.

Speaker 5 (40:16):
Oh yeah, that was crazy. I remember the head of
the company bringing me in. He went, you know, we
need to do a little film. That's what he called it.
We didn't even call them videos. Then we need to
do a little film because they're doing this thing now,
they're putting films out with all the records, and they're
playing in places when you can't get over there to
do TV shows. So I don't know, like go make one.

(40:37):
And then so there was somebody, they hired somebody to
direct it, and we you know, it was a song
about a train, right, so they were, oh, great, idea, let's.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Go on a train, very literal, very literal.

Speaker 5 (40:49):
Yeah, yeah, of course, put me on a train. And
I literally had I just recently had a very bad
perm done up the high street, and I had, you know,
this orange jumpsuit I think that I pulled out of
my closet and I was like, Okay, I'm on the
train singing this song. This is crazy, And that was
my very first music video. And if you look at it,

(41:10):
it's it's it's funny to watch because it's it's so
if you look at that compared to like a Beyonce video, now,
oh well, I mean this is the same art for
it's not you know what the it.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Was real, it was organic. What you saw was what
you got. Nowadays it's ai it's this it's editing.

Speaker 4 (41:30):
Yes, that was.

Speaker 5 (41:32):
Basically like the you know, the the silent movie version
of movies compared to today's movies. You know, this was
this was experimental back when it was like all new.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
But do you know what you could say, look at me,
you can show you know, your kids, you can say,
look this was mom, look at what I did. And
how do you feel? Though you're out at you know, performing,
and then all of a sudden, you're seeing other girls
with bad perms and orge jumpsuits coming to here shows
and you're like, way, no, no, that was never supposed
to happen, but it's gonna feel cool.

Speaker 5 (42:04):
That was not intended. I saw a lot of orange jumpsuits,
but thank goodness, girls did not wreck their hair the perm.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
They did not do the perm. I did a permo.
I remember, I think it was like seventh grade, eighth grade.
I did the PERM and I cried. I didn't realize
it was gonna get even shorter when they did it,
so they caught it really really short. And then with
the PERM it bounced up another you know, two three inches,
So that was hideous. So we could compare again, we
could compare notes with perms. But thank god, your hair

(42:32):
looks lovely now, and I assume that's no perm, right. No, Well,
every artist has a backstory for their big hit song
where how it wasn't almost made, or they originally didn't
like it, or even the ceiling caved in while they
were recording it. Was there some kind of story involved
in this? I mean, with this song, is there any

(42:54):
like cool kind of thing that you can share?

Speaker 5 (42:58):
Not anything before before I made it. The thing that
I remember the most about it is that when I
was in doing the vocals for Your Eyes Only, for
the James Bond song, I was in the studio recording
those vocals, and outside the studio was a whole line
of executives that wanted to come in and hear my

(43:20):
vocals to make sure, you know, we bet on this
young girl. Let's hope she's doing her job. And at
that time, we got the phone call from the States
saying that morning train nine to five had just become
a huge smash in the States, and I couldn't take
a second to celebrate it because I was so focused
on what I had to do then. And that kind

(43:41):
of was pretty much how my life went going forward.
You couldn't really stop to smell the roses, so to speak,
because it was always a schedule that went on for months,
lined up. And as I got older, that's when I decided,
you know what, let's slow things down to be able
to enjoy the good things and take a moment to

(44:03):
take a breath between things. But I didn't know what
to do that when I was young. It was just
let me get whatever you show me to do, whatever
I get asked to do, I'll see yes to ten
things and try and get them all done in a day.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Yeah. Yeah, but you know when we're young, we can
kind of do that, we can multitask. Yeah. But yeah,
you know what you miss out, like you said, on
savoring those moments, and they're just like a blink of
an eye, they're gone. And yeah, now you can do that.
You can savor the winds, you can you know, dust
off from the losses and you have that moment to
kind of just recalibrate. And that's a nice thing for
mental health as well.

Speaker 5 (44:37):
Yes, it's true. I mean, I definitely think that that's
important and that again, you know, it is something that
I hope that the young artists today try and be
smarter about smarter than I was, and try and take
some time for themselves.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Now, Morning Train appeared in one of my favorites sitcoms,
probably my favorite sitcoms twice Seinfeld, How did Field? Did
you know right away that they were picking it? Did
it kind of happen after the fact and you're like, wait,
that's my song. I mean, that's kind of really cool
to be immortalized in one of the biggest pop culture
sitcoms of all time.

Speaker 5 (45:11):
You know, Warner Train showed up in some of the
weirdest places. It was in South Park, it was.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Car sings It and the episode Kenny Dies Kenny Dies.

Speaker 5 (45:21):
And it was a lot of parodies of it. It
pops up in the strangest places, and you know, it's nice.
It's a nice surprise when that happens. It's like, oh,
that's that's really bull that they use that song.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
Are you ever shopping? Are you ever shopping in Cdyes?
And you hear it, and what do you do? Do
you stop or you just kind of like, oh, that's
just old news now, I know that is all.

Speaker 5 (45:43):
Was what's happening. And you're always in the personal aisle,
you know, you're always in the aisle all but ladies
have to go into ladies the lady's isle, and you're like, oh,
here we go. Of course that's what's playing, you know,
And you can't say, hey, that's me, that's me. You're
just like trying to keep your head down. I'm like,
put your stuff in your basket and get out, sneak.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Out, Oh see you No me. I'd probably stand on
top of the shelves and just say that's me.

Speaker 10 (46:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
And by the way, I'm buying Maxi pads. Yeah, be proud,
be proud. Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 7 (46:21):
You know.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
It's amazing to think that you've had so many great
songs throughout your amazing five decade career. Morning Train's the
only one to ever hit number one in the US.
I found that crazy. It was just, you know, I
would have thought Straut, I would have thought all of them.
It's just it's interesting. They all made it high up there,
and I mean you hold that honor of having four

(46:42):
at the same time. But yeah, that was that's interesting.
That was the only one.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
Yeah, And you know, when you think about it, there's
so much great stuff out there. The fact that any
of us make it into the top ten is a
miracle when you think of the songs that are released
every week, every day. So just the fact I used
to always just be thrilled when I would crack the
top ten. That was my goal. I was like, I'm

(47:10):
top ten, you know, So that was awesome. But yeah,
I mean there's artists now, Taylor Swift, Beyonce. They debut
a single and it goes straight to numbers.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (47:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
So a while back, you made the decision you just
don't want to record any new music. You're rather focus
on touring and performing on Broadway. What made you shift
your focus away from the actual recording process and want
to do more live.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
It's not that I never will record again. If something
came to me, somebody brought me a project, that really
made me get excited. I would consider it. I'm not
actively I'm not actively out there looking to record anymore.
And I made a very strong, certain choice when my

(47:58):
kids came along, that I was going to change my
career completely. I wanted it to be something more manageable,
something where I could spend my time at home and
not be gone all the time. And when you make
an album, you know, the record company especially says hey,
we need you to go out now and promote this,

(48:18):
so you're gone promoting it all over the world, and
if it's a success, then you're out promoting even more
and doing a tour behind it. So it just breeds
being gone from your life. And I you know, I
was in my mid thirties by the time I became
a mom, and I knew that I didn't want to
become a mom unless I was ready to put my

(48:40):
kids first, and that's what I chose to do. I
knew that I would always still work and I would
always still be outperforming, but I didn't want it to
be something that ate my whole life and took up
all of my time, because that wouldn't have been right
for my kids.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
No, that's beautiful and a lot of people can't make
that separation or they sacrifice one side, and it's it's
you found that balance, and that's when because you are
still out there.

Speaker 5 (49:04):
I was, yeah, but I was lucky, Like you say,
there's a lot of women that have careers and and
you can't you know, you can't afford to step back
from your career or your career goes away completely. So
I was lucky that I could step back a little
but still work, you know, and but not to where
it was all consuming. It was and it was still

(49:24):
at times, you know, I go, oh, you know, my
kids are doing a good a soccer game, and I've
got to go do a gig. So I wasn't there
for every single moment, but I was there for the
moments that counted, and I was there for most of
and that was what was important to me.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
Well, that is wonderful because what parents can say that
they're there for everything. It's really hard when you're working,
or you're in a two income household it's or a
single parent household. It's really hard to be there all
the time. And the fact that you can do the majority,
that's that's the feat. That's it's that's a talent within itself.
I tried, you did, and you succeeded, and you're still

(49:59):
to across the country and select cities. How do you
keep your vocals? And you said you really never had
formal training, So how do you keep them strong and
healthy and know what to do well you're singing, because
let's face it, the songs that you sang forty years ago,
they're tough, they're up there, and they're in a key
that is probably hard to maintain.

Speaker 7 (50:21):
You.

Speaker 5 (50:21):
You know, every professional singer has vocal wellness and they
have vocal health, and you have exercises that you do
to warm up and to make sure that your voice
is sound. And you you know, I don't smoke, and
I try to you know, I really try to stay
healthy physically and that's good for my voice. But like

(50:41):
I mentioned, there was a time when I did have
vocal tiredness from having to go out and work while
I had a really bad flue, them into a chest infection,
them into a cough and a throw infection, and I
went to have been to a couple of coaches then
that have got me through those times and gotten my

(51:02):
voice back to normal. And so I know the exercises
that they taught me, and you just keep working at it.
Plus you know, as you get older. I mean, I'm
sixty six now, my voice is definitely different from when
I was twenty six. There's you know, an athlete who runs,
they don't run as fast as long when they're sixty

(51:22):
six from twenty six. Everybody's body changes. So you work
with the instrument that you have, and you adapt and
you modify. And I think the point of it for
my audience that comes is that it's still authentic and
I don't lip sync. It's still my voice, and I'm
still working and I'm still giving it the best that
I can, and you know, my audience keep coming back.

(51:45):
So oh yeah, I think it's okay right now.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
But no, it's wonderful. And I got to give you
props because I was listening through and I think you
still do all the original keys. I don't think you've
dropped any that I noticed. I mean I was sitting there.
I mean, majority of your hits they seem to be
the originals.

Speaker 5 (52:03):
Here and there on stage, there's a couple that we've
changed the keys up, but yeah, we still we still
ailt to out. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
Good for you, and you've done Las Vegas residencies, and
you've also split your time, You've done acting, like you
mentioned Miami, Vice and all of this. Do you have
any plans to do more acting if.

Speaker 5 (52:24):
Something came along it was interesting, Yeah, I would, But
you know, I'm happy doing what I'm doing right now.
I love my life. I have that balance that you
know I work to achieve, and that is I have
very strong family life and home life, and I go
out and I perform. I mean, right now, it's busy

(52:45):
because I'm going out and doing quite a few shows
one after the other. But most months I limit it
to just a couple of weekends a month, and I
took the whole summer off so I could just relax
and go in vacation with friends and travel. So I
like my life how it is.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
It's awesome, it's perfect, and like I said, you're finding
that balance between both and you're making it work and
it's beautiful. So we're kind of winding down now, and
I really just want to say it's been, like I
said in the beginning, and a lustrious career of so
much for you and so many highlights and accolades. So
when everything is all said and done, What do you

(53:23):
want the legacy of Sheena Easton to be? When people
talk about you, What do you want left on this
earth as your lasting impression.

Speaker 5 (53:31):
I didn't fake it. It was me. Would you saw
me and you didn't like me, then that was my
fault because that was me. It was nobody else's fault.
And if you did like what you saw, then thank you.
But yeah, I've always tried to just be myself and
perform and perform music that I love and hopefully makes
some people happy, and so yeah, I'd like to leave

(53:55):
behind the fact that I was myself. We're good, bad,
or indifferent?

Speaker 2 (54:03):
Well, I find all good with you, and I think
most people would have a very hard time finding anything
other than that. And all my fans out there, visit

Org, NBC News Radio. I'm Lisa Carton. The man accused
of assassinating Charlie Kirk, is set to be in court Tuesday.
Tyler Robinson is expected to be arraigned on state murder
charges in a provo Utah court in the afternoon. If
he's formerly charged with aggravated murder that could make the

(57:07):
twenty two year old eligible for the death penalty under
Utah law. He's also expected to be charged federally at
some point. Robinson is accused of shooting and killing Kirk
while the Conservative activists was speaking at an outdoor turning
point event at Utah Valley University last week, FBI Director
Cash Patel will be in the hot seat. Patel was
already set to appear Tuesday and Wednesday before the Senate

(57:30):
and then the House for an annual oversight hearing, but
the Charlie Kirk murder investigation will no doubt take center stage.
His leadership of the agency is reportedly under fire over
the Kirk investigation, with some noting the suspected killer is
behind bars mainly because his father turned him in. It's
also worth noting former Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is

(57:50):
being sworn in as co deputy FBI director. Fox News
reports the White House created the position and has not
explained the hiring to Patel. Trump says the US military
conducted another strike on a boat carrying drugs from Venezuela.
In a post on truth Social Trump said the strike
was against narco terrorists in international waters and they were

(58:11):
transporting illegal narcotics.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
We have proof.

Speaker 10 (58:14):
We you have to do is look at the cargo
that was like it spattered all over the ocean, big.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
Bags of cocaine and fented all over the place.

Speaker 12 (58:22):
The President said three terrorists were killed in the strike.
The first strike against a suspected Venezuelan drug boat happened
earlier this month and killed eleven. President Trump expects the
Federal Reserve to cut interest rates after months of complaining
the action was long overdue. The Fed kicks off its
two day meeting in Washington, d C. On Tuesday with
an announcement on a possible cut coming Wednesday. You're listening
